About Marti

My three favorite creative activities:

ART: I’ve always been artistic and originally discovered enjoyment of creativity through crocheting, pottery and jewelry.  I learned to draw and paint while a teenager; kept a few childhood paintings to remind me how much I improved.  It took years to learn the skill of art, and I’m still discovering, learning – and changing – skill/style.

MUSIC: My official music training began at age nine.  It took two decades to be comfortable performing on stage with confidence. I was as an introvert playing an independent, “extravert” sounding instrument: oboe.  When I embraced an innate creative ear and begin to improvise, that’s when the true joy as a musician ignited

BAKING:  Added to the mix of skills, baking became my new ‘canvas’ – a ‘manuscript’ that combined the aptitude of art and mathematics of music with culinary creations.  Interview about my bakery.
